Kairo is a character from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
Kairo is a Goron who can be found patrolling back and forth along the path from the Foothill Stable, through the Maw of Death Mountain. He will stop at a broken down wagon, staring out towards the Guardian Stalker in the distance, before then turning around and heading back to the stable. He walks the same exact route as the Hylian, Dayto. He is a traveling merchant who deals in expensive ore, including rare Topaz, Ruby, and Sapphire.[1][2][3] He is good pals with Yunobo, the Goron that helps Link enter the Divine Beast Vah Rudania.[4]
Kairo used to work at the Goron Hot Springs in Goron City, but he got sick of it. He wanted to travel the world, visiting places that are much different than the setting of Goron City. He wants to go somewhere cold, as well as somewhere where there are green trees and hills.[5][6]
Kairo will occasionally give Link some advice on the region. He mentions that for a Hylian like Link, a Fireproof Elixir will help him withstand the heat. However, while he knows a Fireproof Lizard is required, he doesn't know what it needs to be mixed with to make an elixir.[7][8] Kairo will also mention that while Goron City and Death Mountain can be dangerous, they are excellent places to find some high quality chunks of ore.[9][10] He warns Link to beware of the Magma Bombs, as they can be dangerous even to Gorons, so Link should be careful.[11][12][13]
If at anytime Kairo encounters an enemy, he will run away in fear.[14] If Link defeats the enemy and then speaks with Kairo, he will thank him for fighting off the enemy, rewarding him with a meal, some ore, or some rupees.[15] Kairo is always courteous to Link, even if he doesn't buy or sell any goods from him.[16]

Tears of the Kingdom
After Link has cleared one of the Regional Phenomena, Kairo can be found in the center of Lookout Landing, being chastised by Zorona for not remembering how to reach Goron City.[17] Ever since Death Mountain stopped erupting, different paths leading to Goron City have opened up, which has caused Kairo confusion as to how to best reach the city.[18][19] After getting directions from Scorpis, the two will head out, agreeing to stop at the Bedrock Bistro that Kairo is fond of.[20][21]
Zorona and Kairo will later appear at the Riverside Stable. They remember Link from Lookout Landing and mention that they are thinking of traveling east to Kakariko Village to check out the Ring Ruins.[22] Kairo mistakenly says he wants to taste or chew the ruins before Zorona interupts him saying the ruins are for seeing, not eating.[23][24] Zorona mentions that Kakariko Village is hard to miss because of the ring-shaped rock, as well as the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower, which are viewable from a distance.[25] Kairo is in a hurry to take off, so after chatting with them, the pair will leave the stable.[26][27]
After departing, they will travel in the direction Kakariko Village, stopping just northwest of the Sahasra Slope. They are on their way to Kakariko Village but stopped to take a break.[28] Kairo is starving and continues to talk about taking a bit of the ring ruins when they arrive.[29][30][31][32] Kairo says he's so hungry that he'll collapse if he has to take one more step.[33] The pair agree to stop and eat something for a few moments.[34]
After traversing the land, he and Zorona have set up camp in front of Gerudo Town, where they are being denied entry, as a pair of voe. Kairo hits back by saying his friend got in, so he should be allowed to too, a fact vehemently defined by the guards. Kairo's friend is either Lyndae or Strade, both of whom got into Gerudo Town in Breath of the Wild. As Lyndae is still walking the path through the Gerudo Region, he and Kairo would have crossed paths, suggesting it's him who told Kairo that Gorons could visit the town.

- ↑ "Lay off! I'm embarrased enough as it is! Besides, it's not that I forgot. When I left the city, there was still lava everywhere. I didn't know Death Mountain would stop erupting, the lava would cool, and new roads would form!" — Kairo, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "You don't have to tell me there was lava everywhere. It used to be so hot that Hylians couldn't step foot on the mountain without fire-resistant gear. Even if I wanted to take a trip that way, I couldn't." — Zorona, Tears of the Kingdom

- ↑ "We've talked about this! Priceless ruins are for seeing, not eating! Anyway, Kakariko Village is where we're headed." — Zorona, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Kakariko Village is right over there next to that Skyview Tower. And the ring-shaped rock to the left of it is probably one of the Ring Ruins. If you get turned around on the journey, you can look at these two things to reorient yourself." — Zorona, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "Then why wait? Let's go!" — Kairo, Tears of the Kingdom
- ↑ "All right, big guy. We're off. See you on the road!" — Zorona, Tears of the Kingdom
